i think the worst thing about the whole “anti-woke” culture is how it’s not only dumbing down people (folks are literally forgetting pronouns are an actual word class, an inseperable part of grammar and everyday speech) but also praising meanness and insensibility above all. it has managed to make malice and unkindness synonymous with factfulness and reason as if intelligence didn’t stem from emotions. as if feelings weren’t the very core of human beings. as if knowledge wasn’t achieved through passion, sympathy, and open-mindedness. as if the whole crux of this entire anti-wokeness movement wasn’t rooted in pure unadulterated emotion of hatred and hostility.
what is your opinion about outstanding people who inspire and push others to develop by their example, but themselves remain almost in obscurity without achieving the recognition they deserve?
how i describe myself on my cv after writing 6-note textposts on a dying microblogging site at 4 am
Is there a character you would like nothing more than to punt directly into the fucking Sun?
Well, now's your chance! Send them flying!
Submit characters through the ask box!
Rules:
1. Characters who are punted into the Sun are erased from existence.
2. The Sun's hunger can never be sated.
3. There aren't necessarily any rules for who or what you can and can't submit, but I'd rather that you didn't submit real people (unless it's really funny), and I might still decide not to include other specific submissions for other reasons.
4. The queue is shuffled periodically.
5. If you mistake a post on this blog for 'smash or pass', it is illegal not to also clarify whether you would've smashed or passed.
Other than that, go wild!
YEET THEM OUT OF EXISTENCE!
Thank you to everyone at @hot-take-tournament who helped make this a reality! <3 <3 <3
why are you looking at me like that. is there something on my face? is it the bristling spikes emanating outwards from my body in every direction, impaling scraps of torn flesh and dried blood on their jagged points?
